Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Now, I charge that for you [the jury] to find the defendant guilty of an assault with a firearm upon a law enforcement officer while such officer was in the performance of his duties, the State must prove four things beyond a reasonable doubt. First, that the defendant ... assaulted [a law enforcement officer] .... Second, that the defendant ... used a firearm. Third, that [the victim] was a law enforcement officer ... And fourth, that [the law enforcement officer] was in the performance of his duties. (Emphasis added.)”
